In Response to: Should CBP Agents Receive Training on Synthetic Opioids & Personal Protective Equipment to Prevent Exposure?

“A cursory understanding of marijuana's history being scheduled as an illegal drug convinces any fair-minded person that the whole thing was an embarrassing, sordid affair.

In Response to: Should Marijuana be Rescheduled to Allow for Medical Research & Use?

“The President stated a year ago that he was pulling out. Then the action was slowed when all of the generals and politicians who could never win any of these forever wars in the Middle East over the last 20 years started complaining.

In Response to: Equal Pay for Equal Work: Letting Employees Freely Discuss Wages and Benefits

“Federal prohibition of marijuana has been an unmitigated disaster at every level. This is an issue for states to determine.

In Response to: Letting States Decide on Marijuana Legalization

“It's important that legislators read the bills they vote on. They largely don't. However a law that requires more time for consideration doesn't strike at the heart of the actual problem, which is corruption.

In Response to: Do Senators (and the Public) Need More Time to Review Bills Before a Vote?

In Response to: Creating a Catalogue of All Federal Programs and How They Spend Your Tax Dollars
